This occurs due to hypercapnia causing excess H+ and hypoxia resulting in the anaerobic respiration of lactic acid. The excess H+ bind with HCO3-, decreasing the [HCO3-].

A condition which causes type 2 respiratory failure due to difficulty in delivering air to the lower airways

A condition which causes type 1 respiratory failure due to thickening of the diffusion barrier

Changes in starlings forces can increase the amount of this fluid which limits inflation of the lungs, resulting in hypoventilation (type 2) or V-Q mismatch (type 1)

Card 10
Front
This condition means you are unable to generate distending pressures, possibly leading to respiratory failure

Card 11
Front
An autoimmune disease which stops muscle from contracting properly, leading to respiratory failure in some cases

Card 12
Front
A syndrome which causes the loss of movement and sensation due to a viral infection which can cause hypoventilation and possible type 2 respiratory failure
Back
Card 13
Front
This can cause difficulty breathing due to a loss of innervation to the diaphragm which can lead to type 2 respiratory failure
